In vi, you can have, in your $EXINIT envariable, "so $HOME/.exrc".

(so is short for "source".)

In your $HOME/.exrc, you have a line reading:

se nu

[SEt NUmber - set line numbering on.]

There are several other variables worth researching, though <ahem>
some of the more cryptic ones are not well documented <example>
such as "paragraphs"</example></ahem>.

er, that's usually "Plug and Pray".
